Abstract
Method of cooling a fuel assembly-transport container with a cooling circuit which includes the interior of the transport container and is traversible by a vaporizable coolant such as water, which includes feeding the coolant to the transport container at the start of the cooling operation at so low a rate that a vapor thereof is formed, withdrawing the vapor from the transport container, and maintaining the cooling through heat-removal by the withdrawn vapor until a reduction in the temperature of the withdrawn vapor occurs, and cooling circuit for performing the foregoing method.
